Races of the Wastes
Human
Average Lifespan: 70-90 years
Description: The most populous race of sentient beings in the wasteland, humans have managed to survive nuclear fallout thanks to various fallout shelters produced by Vault-Tec. Many have already immerged from these shelters and have begun repopulating the wastes over the course two hundred years. Some vaults still remain closed...

Ghoul
Average Lifespan: 150+ years
Description: The second most abundant race in the wasteland are known as ghouls. These are humans who have been heavily irradiated and permanently mutated into zombie-like beings. Ghouls can live much longer than humans and require much less nourishment (Such as food and water) to survive on. Due to their grotesque appearance and potential to become mindless cannibals, many humans are quite discriminatory towards their kind.

Super Mutant
Average Lifespan: 60-80 years (Naturally)
Description: The third most abundant race in the wasteland are hulking green monsters of men, the super mutants. These are humans who have both been heavily irradiated and exposed to the Forced Evolutionary Virus. This virus mutates the body into a primal mass of muscle fit for combat and little else. Most Super Mutants are quite vicious and cabalistic, eating humans and ghouls alike, though some are actually intelligent and have memories of their past life.
Night Kin: There is a small sect of Super Mutants in the west known as the Night Kin. These purple skinned Super Mutants are far more stealthy than their green bothers, but tend to be mentally unstable and paranoid.

Synth
Average Lifespan: Unknown
Description: The most uncommon race in the wasteland is that of the Synth. Synth's are synthetic human androids developed by the Commonwealth Institute of Technology. The Institute, after joining forces with the enclave remnant, have begun creating more synths to increase their populations once more. Synths make up the majority of the New Order's military forces, with humans acting as generals and commanders rather than soldiers.
